October 11 street date. For the first time in almost a decade, brothers Taylor and Griffin Goldsmith grace the cover of a Dawes record. It's just the two of them this time, and as such, "Oh Brother" marks a distinctive new chapter for the California rock band - one that is both introspective and accessible, all while maintaining their beloved sense of sincerity. "Oh Brother" steers Dawes decidedly forward, honouring 15 years of Taylor and Griffin's musical relationship, as well as the next era of their band. Each of the nine songs began with just Taylor on guitar and vocals and Griffin on drums. At this point in the Goldsmith's career, Dawes has cemented itself as one of the most earnest, no-bullshit musical acts out there. They're a band that can move seamlessly between folk rock, piano ballads, and sprawling jams while maintaining both an immediately recognizable sound and a freedom from expectations. "Oh Brother" shows how the Goldsmith brothers remain creative, ambitious, and inspired - what it means to be lifers in a band together.
